Recommend me a good pair of goggles

KieranIRL

Im looking to get a good pair of goggles that dont get fogged up and are comfortable. I'm after looking through lots of different sports shops and all i can find are Adidas goggles they fog up very fast which get very annoying.
Any Ideas would be great! Thanks.

I bought a pair of the aquasphere kaiman goggles - huge difference to my old ones.

I must have a default-shaped head because the cheap and nasty Speedos you get everywhere always fit me.
I buy a pair of anti-fogs every 9-12 months. Cost maybe €8-€10.

Tbh, basic speedos are still quite good.

I used to use speedo futura for training and speed evolution (or maybe sockets the odd time) for races

If you're not an open water swimmer then don't waste your money on those aquasphere goggles.

I find any old pair works. I've never tried Adidas goggles but their togs are absolute crap in my experience.

I have a Vista AquaSphere mask...while it's ok-ish in the pool, it's pretty bad in the sea...it looks to me that the cooler the water is the more the mask leaks.
I don't think i am an isolated case, few friends have issue with mask leaks and there are reports on the web.

I bought it from wiggle, posted a review about it..and my review got deleted as i recommended NOT to buy these.

I only had a chance once to try the XPS (women version) but seems better than the VISTA mask.

Brand new to swimming, and goggles. But picked up a pair of Zoggs (phoenix I think) in tescos for €11, and they work very well. Never fog up on me.

You can' get Goggles that don't fog up.You should get Speedo,SPEED SOCKETS thEY rarely fog up but still do and are very comfotable.You can get an anti-fog spray for goggles that stops the goggles Fogging up for nearly the whole swim session.(Both products above can be found on the Speedo website)
Or u could use mothers old remedy poor olive oil into the goggles and it works just as good as the anti-fog spray.:)

Hi,
I train in pool & have bog standard speedo goggles which tick all the boxes. However, in open water (triathlon) swims, my goggles ALWAYS leak. Any tips / suggestions regarding best goggles for open water (both fresh and salt)?

Speedo have a range of large lens silicon seal goggles designed specifically for use in open water and triathalon, they are part of the bio-fuse range, they are a little pricey, but I've gotten a lot of good feedback about them in the shop. Other than that I find Speedo Mariners are top notch, or Mariner Mirrors for outdoor sessions in the sun help keep the bad UV out...

Cheers Angryhippie - think I'll look at the Speedo Bio Fuse you mentioned - they can't be any worse & I'll try anything at this stage!
